ENRICH YOUR EXPERIENCE

Enrich your theatre experience and delve deeper into the stories we present on our stages.

PRE-SHOW CHATS

Begin your night at the theatre by exploring a component of the production you are about to see! Subscribe to our Pre-Show Chat evening at the John Hirsch Theatre (Series 17E) for an opportunity to learn more about theatre through pre-show conversations with local theatre professionals.

Each session is planned with that evening’s performance in mind. Past Pre-Show Chats have featured a variety of MTC staff (including carpenters, wardrobe personnel and our associate artistic director), local actors, choreographers, and more!

The half-hour session begins at 6:45pm, and before one of the six Pre-Show Chat evenings, a backstage tour will be offered at 6:00pm.

Pre-Show Chats are free with your ticket!

The Pre-Show Chat schedule for our 17/18 season will be posted in the fall.

TALKBACK SERIES

Actors return to the stage for an enlightening post-show question-and-answer session with audience members following Tuesday evening and the final Wednesday matinee performances at the John Hirsch Mainstage and Tuesday evening and Thursday matinee performances at the Tom Hendry Warehouse.
